| title | 54:1 The title of the foure and fiftithe salm. `In Ebreu thus, To victorie in orguns, the lernyng of Dauid. `In Jeroms translacioun thus, To the ouercomer in salmes of Dauid lernid. |
| 1 | 54:2 God, here thou my preier, and dispise thou not my biseching; |
| 2 | 54:3 yyue thou tent to me, and here thou me. I am sorewful in myn exercising; and Y am disturblid of the face of the enemye, |
| 3 | 54:4 and of the tribulacioun of the synner. For thei bowiden wickidnessis in to me; and in ire thei weren diseseful to me. |
| 4 | 54:5 Myn herte was disturblid in me; and the drede of deth felde on me. |
| 5 | 54:6 Drede and trembling camen on me; and derknessis hiliden me. |
| 6 | 54:7 And Y seide, Who schal yyue to me fetheris, as of a culuer; and Y schal fle, and schal take rest? |
| 7 | 54:8 Lo! Y yede fer awei, and fledde; and Y dwellide in wildirnesse. |
| 8 | 54:9 I abood hym, that made me saaf fro the litilnesse, `ether drede, of spirit; and fro tempest. |
| 9 | 54:10 Lord, caste thou doun, departe thou the tungis of hem; for Y siy wickidnesse and ayenseiyng in the citee. |
| 10 | 54:11 Bi dai and nyyt wickidnesse schal cumpasse it on the wallis therof; |
| 11 | 54:12 and trauel and vnriytfulnesse ben in the myddis therof. And vsure and gile failide not; fro the stretis therof. |
| 12 | 54:13 For if myn enemye hadde cursid me; sotheli Y hadde suffride. And if he, that hatide me, hadde spoke greet thingis on me; in hap Y hadde hid me fro hym. |
| 13 | 54:14 But thou art a man of o wille; my leeder, and my knowun. |
| 14 | 54:15 Which tokist togidere swete meetis with me; we yeden with consent in the hous of God. |
| 15 | 54:16 Deth come on hem; and go thei doun quyk in to helle. For weiwardnessis ben in the dwelling places of hem; in the myddis of hem. |
| 16 | 54:17 But Y criede to thee, Lord; and the Lord sauede me. |
| 17 | 54:18 In the euentid and morewtid and in myddai Y schal telle, and schewe; and he schal here my vois. |
| 18 | 54:19 He schal ayenbie my soule in pees fro hem, that neiyen to me; for among manye thei weren with me. |
| 19 | 54:20 God schal here; and he that is bifore the worldis schal make hem low. For chaungyng is not to hem, and thei dredden not God; |
| 20 | 54:21 he holdith forth his hoond in yelding. Thei defouliden his testament, |
| 21 | 54:22 the cheris therof weren departid fro ire; and his herte neiyede. The wordis therof weren softer than oyle; and tho ben dartis. |
| 22 | 54:23 Caste thi cure on the Lord, and he schal fulli nurische thee; and he schal not yyue with outen ende flotering to a iust man. |
| 23 | 54:24 But thou, God, schalt lede hem forth; in to the pit of deth. Menquelleris and gilours schulen not haue half her daies; but, Lord, Y schal hope in thee. |
